Cam Newton became Auburn's third Heisman Trophy winner when the junior quarterback was named the recipient of the 76th Heisman Trophy Saturday night at the Best Buy Theater in New York City. He joins Pat Sullivan (1971) and Bo Jackson (1985) as Auburn players to claim college football's most prestigious award.

Newton won in a landslide, finishing with 729 of a possible 886 first-place votes and 2,263 total points to out-distance runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford (1,079 points), by 1,184 points. Oregon's LaMichael James was third with 916 points, while Boise State's Kellen Moore was fourth with 635 points.


Newton is the first player to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award in the same season since Wisconsin's Ron Dayne in 1999. Newton is the first quarterback to win those three awards plus the Davey O'Brien Award since Florida's Danny Wuerffel in 1996.

Auburn is now one of just nine schools to have at least three Heisman Trophy winners, joining Army, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC.
